5.3 Reification Vocabulary
The original RDF Model and Syntax Specification [ RDFMS ] defined a
vocabulary for describing RDF statements without stating them. The
current RDF specification does not assign a normative formal
semantics to this vocabulary, but describes an intended meaning which
is described here. An informal introduction to the reification
vocabulary, with examples, may be found in the RDF Primer [
RDF-PRIMER ].
5.3.1 rdf:Statement
rdf:Statement is an instance of rdfs:Class. It is intended to
represent the class of RDF statements. An RDF statement is the
statement made by a token of an RDF triple in a published document.
The subject of an RDF statement is the instance of rdfs:Resource
identified by the subject of the triple. The predicate of an RDF
statement is the instance of rdf:Property identified by the predicate
of the triple. The object of an RDF statement is the instance of
rdfs:Resource identified by the object of the triple.
rdf:Statement is the domain of the properties rdf:predicate,
rdf:subject and rdf:object . Different individual rdf:Statement
instances may have the same values for their rdf:predicate,
rdf:subject and rdf:object properties.
5.3.2 rdf:subject
rdf:subject is an instance of rdf:Property that is used to state the
subject of a statement.
A triple of the form:
S rdf:subject R
states that S is an instance of rdf:Statement and that the subject of S is R.
The rdfs:domain of rdf:subject is rdf:Statement . The rdfs:range of
rdf:subject is rdfs:Resource.
5.3.3 rdf:predicate
rdf:predicate is an instance of rdf:Property that is used to state
the predicate of a statement.
A triple of the form:
S rdf:predicate P
states that S is an instance of rdf:Statement , that P is an instance
of rdf:Property and that the predicate of S is P.
The rdfs:domain of rdf:predicate is rdf:Statement and the rdfs:range
is rdf:Property.
5.3.4 rdf:object
rdf:object is an instance of rdf:Property that is used to state the
object of a statement.
A triple of the form:
S rdf:object O
states that S is an instance of rdf:Statement and that the object of S is O.
The rdfs:domain of rdf:object is rdf:Statement. The rdfs:range of
rdf:object is rdfs:Resource .
